We already depend on the smartphone to navigate every aspect of our existence. We’re told that innovations—from augmented-reality interfaces and virtual assistants to autonomous delivery drones and self-driving cars—will make life easier, more convenient and more productive. 3D printing promises unprecedented control over the form and distribution of matter, while the blockchain stands to revolutionize everything from the recording and exchange of value to the way we organize the mundane realities of the day to day. And, all the while, fiendishly complex algorithms are operating quietly in the background, reshaping the economy, transforming the fundamental terms of our politics and even redefining what it means to be human.
Sustainable Communities Initiatives (SCI) is a charity working at a grass-roots level with communities of all ages on social and environmental sustainability. All our projects inspire, support and increase resilience in both the individual and in community groups, and take place at our Earthship Fife Visitor Centre, in schools or community centres, or at community events.
Our projects generally involve people’s dreams, people’s waste, a stretch of the participants’ confidence and a lot of fun! We’ve built a Visitor Centre out of tyres and cans, and lots of greenhouses out of plastic bottles. We’ve brainstormed with too-many-to-count community groups on what they’d like to make together, and left them feeling resourced enough to use waste creatively on their own.

Welcome to the New York City Internet Health Report, a Mozilla project made possible in collaboration with the NYC Mayor's Office of the Chief Technology Officer. To demonstrate what makes internet health meaningful for stakeholders and communities at the municipal level, this collection of case studies offers a portrait of a vibrant city working in different ways toward a common public good – an inclusive, safe, secure, open, and decentralized internet.
As we enter a third decade of popular reckoning with the idea of networked computation, any notion of a divide between the physical and the virtual is proving less and less tenable with every passing day. Slowly at first, but with increasing momentum, the ordinary things and places that have constituted the cities around us since there were such things as cities are identifying themselves to the global informatic network, or being identified to it.
Real-world objects and arrangements of objects; structures and locations; events and situations: all of these are acquiring representations in the virtual space of the network.
As yet, by far the greater number of these representations are passive — descriptions, really. These descriptions leave the objects in question only the most limited ability to take account of one another, adapt to the circumstances of use, or otherwise respond to evolving conditions.

This article examines the 'digital city' debate of the mid 1990s as a point of departure for a media-historical questioning of how technology and the discourse about technology were used as an experimental playground for new forms of knowledge that are fundamental for the understanding of today’s network society. This text has been presented as a conference paper at the 'networks and sustainability' track of the 'textiles' conference in Riga in June 2010. The paper will also appear in a special edition of the Arts and Communications Journal edited by RIXC at the end of 2010.

Here’s the catch: all the activists want to believe that there is something bigger than their planetary efforts, a Movement that is intergalactic in scope. A galactic community that is connected, has a shared purpose and acts collectively. They believe in it, because proper movements should work at the scale of humanity as a whole. They aim to be ubiquitous, so that fulfilment of their vision can have as much impact as is imaginable. How else can you tackle global challenges?
A Universidade como Laboratório Vivo pode contribuir com a implantação de Cidades Inteligentes, por se tratar de um ambiente onde convivem ensino, pesquisa, experimentação, extensão e inovação. Um campus universitário, por ser um espaço de convivência de ideias e cenários, conceitos e tecnologia, contribui para alavancar ações em prol da Sociedade, passando pela sustentabilidade. A gestão e uso consciente dos recursos propicia um ambiente influenciador, não só para os membros da comunidade acadêmica, como para o desenvolvimento local e regional. O fórum tem como objetivos o agrupamento de representantes dos setores que fazem possível uma Cidade Inteligente (Governo, Academia, Empresas, Agências de Financiamento e Sociedade), para compartilhar experiências, nacionais e internacionais, de ações diversas para fazer possível uma cidade inteligente. Busca-se propiciar um ambiente de discussão sobre ações e estratégias para incrementar, interligar e catalisar a participação colaborativa entre os diferentes setores, na busca por melhorar a cidadania e a qualidade de vida da Sociedade.
Já pensou se você pudesse ter uma pequena usina hidrelétrica em casa, para gerar a sua própria energia e não precisar pagar quase nada de luz? Dois jovens curitibanos inventaram uma micro usina “caseira”, capaz de abastecer uma casa e ainda sobrar energia. Não dá para instalar em qualquer lugar, mas é uma ideia inovadora.

"A maneira como ocorre a aprovação de leis urbanísticas está obsoleta. Em muitos casos, as leis vão para o Legislativo sem a exigência de estudos técnicos e estratégias de estabilização do sistema, sem utilizar ferramentas tecnológicas compatíveis com o estágio de evolução da sociedade, ficando sujeitas a uma quantidade de legislações cheia de incongruências entre si, feitas por funcionários mal remunerados, não estáveis no cargo (cargos comissionados) e que não têm a função exigida de continuidade do serviço público, O resultado óbvio é um sistema que aprova leis de forma fragmentada, morosa e impessoal, o que favorece a corrupção."
Projetar aparelhos com defeitos e peças pouco duráveis para que o consumidor tenha de comprar novamente. É a obsolescência programada, uma prática que nos leva a um beco sem saída
"Innovation" is one of capitalism’s most popular buzzwords. Its function is to sustain the myth that business genius creates society’s wealth.
"Faltam alguns minutos para as dez horas da manhã. O vento frio não chega a incomodar quem circula minimamente agasalhado pelo centro de São Paulo. Diógenes, 62 anos, está ansioso. No Espaço de Tecnologias e Artes (ETA) do Sesc Carmo, ele pretende dar início ao projeto de um carrinho automatizado. Trouxe as pecinhas de plástico e alguns circuitos de casa mesmo. Mateus, educador do ETA da unidade, conhece o frequentador há alguns meses; eles montaram juntos a CNC (máquina fresadora) do espaço. Mateus dá alguns pitacos no projeto de Diógenes enquanto recebe outros frequentadores do ateliê aberto. Na parte da manhã, o público-alvo são os adultos. Na parte da tarde, costumam vir os mais jovens."

Um adolescente de 16 anos muito esperto chamado Thomas uniu duas de suas paixões, ciclismo e eletrônicos, numa invenção prática que qualquer um pode fazer. Usando a CPU (unidade central de processamento) de ventilador velho, uma bateria de telefone antigo, um monte de peças eletrônicas e algumas ferramentas simples, ele criou um carregador de telefone celular para acoplar na bicicleta gastando $ 5 dólares. O sistema alimenta a bateria do telefone enquanto você pedala por aí.

ECO coins are earned through sustainable actions
Eating meat-free meals, switching to a green energy provider or riding a bike to work can earn you ECOs which you can spend in our new sustainable marketplace to buy ecological experiences, services and goods. This is a new way to track, measure and reward sustainability so that now you can do good and get paid.
ECO coins are stored in digital wallets accessible through a mobile platform. Sustainable actions are verified by inspectors, through smart IOT integration (e.g. a smart thermostat linked to your phone) and by certified vendors.

As the gig economy grows, more and more stories of worker exploitation are coming to the fore. And as reports of shady labor practices at Uber, Lyft, Taskrabbit, Postmates, and Amazon Mechanical Turk show, these issues run rampant across all sectors of the gig economy. In the home services industry, the platform Handy has made a name for itself, connecting people with pre-screened professional cleaners, fixers, and other professionals. Within three years of its founding, however, the company already faced lawsuits for allegedly underpaying workers and making them pay severe fees for minor transgressions.
To counter poor labor practices, gig workers and entrepreneurs are now taking matters into their own hands by launching their own digital platforms for various services. Called "platform cooperatives," these businesses bring the structure of traditional cooperatives, including worker ownership and governance, to the digital world.

"In fact, there are a lot of things that could have been done in New York to prevent the kind of devastation that we saw during Hurricane Sandy, from basic adjustments and investments in infrastructure to more radical, but still very practical changes—like the proposal to green the coast of the city with wetlands and marshes that can absorb the energy of incoming water during storms. (This is a much more realistic and affordable solution than the idea of building higher and higher sea walls around the city, which is being floated by some politicians.) The fact is that the New York City coastline was expanded many years ago by creating and building out an artificial landfill. Not surprisingly this area is among the most flood prone in the city."
Development Alternatives (DA), the world's first social enterprise dedicated to sustainable development, is a research and action organisation striving to deliver socially equitable, environmentally sound and economically scalable development outcomes. Our green technology innovations for habitat, water, energy and waste management, which deliver basic needs and generate sustainable livelihoods, have reduced poverty and rejuvenated natural ecosystems in the most backward regions of India.
Since inception DA is dedicated to systemic transformation. It started by analysing the changes that were needed in the existing societal and economic order to ensure that the wellbeing of the marginalised and the health of the environment is maintained and regenerated, for long into the future.

What’s needed is a new story in which care for the places where we live is a practical focus for solidarity. In that spirit, a series of xskool workshops called Back To The Land 2.0 brought local actors together, in diverse locations, to flesh out this new story of place with live examples. The text below (it’s about 4,000 words, a 20 minute read) is about the lessons we have learned so far. It builds on the course we helped run at Schumacher College a year ago and in June.

RESUMO: Este artigo discute os conceitos de inovação, inovação social e inovação tecnológica com o intuito de analisar a dicotomia existente entre esses termos em suas epistemologias e práticas. Após um longo período em que inovação esteve relacionada a um processo social, a partir da segunda metade do século XX o termo passa a definir processos relacionados somente ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e econômico. Recentemente, inovação social volta a ser discutida, embora muitas vezes adquira sentido restritivo às ações de combate à exclusão social e ao desgaste ambiental promovidos pela inovação tecnológica. Este estudo ressalta a importância desses conceitos caminharem juntos para a definição de políticas e estratégias para a inovação com foco na sustentabilidade do planeta. Para a melhor compreensão dos termos, uma análise bibliográfica e um estudo do caso da impressão 3D mostra como processos de inovação se relacionam tecno-socialmente, tanto em conceitos quanto em ações. O estudo apresenta uma matriz analítica que permite, por um lado, sistematizar e comparar esses conceitos e por outro, verificar como inovações sócio-técnicas promovem a sustentabilidade na esfera ambiental, social e econômica, e serve como subsídio para a construção de políticas para o setor. Ao final, percebe-se necessário estudos que consigam determinar e mensurar processos organizacionais de práticas sustentáveis nas esferas sociais e tecnológicas concomitantemente.

Since the 1960s, the theory and praxis of social ecology have helped guide efforts to articulate a radical, counter-systemic ecological outlook with a goal of transforming society’s relationship to non-human nature. For many decades, social ecologists have articulated a fundamental ecological critique of capitalism and the state, and proposed an alternative vision of empowered human communities organized confederally in pursuit of a more harmonious relationship to the wider natural world.
Social ecology helped shape the New Left and anti-nuclear movements in the 1960s and 1970s, the emergence of Green politics in many countries, the alter-globalization movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and most recently the struggle for democratic autonomy by Kurdish communities in Turkey and Syria, along with the resurgence of new municipal movements around the world — from Barcelona en Comú to Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi.
The philosophical vision of social ecology was first articulated by Murray Bookchin between the early 1960s and the early 2000s, and has since been further elaborated by his colleagues and many others. It is a unique synthesis of social criticism, historical and anthropological investigation, dialectical philosophy and political strategy. Social ecology can be viewed as an unfolding of several distinct layers of understanding and insight, spanning all of these dimensions and more. It begins with an appreciation of the fact that environmental problems are fundamentally social and political in nature, and are rooted in the historical legacies of domination and social hierarchy.

Les conséquences négatives de l'individualisme nous rappellent que l’être humain est avant tout un être de relation, et que le sentiment d’appartenance à une communauté est nécessaire à son épanouissement. Mais qu’est ce qu’une communauté au 21ème siècle ? En quoi peut-elle nous aider à faire face aux défis environnementaux et sociaux ? Dans le cadre du projet Oasis, Colibris explore le "faire ensemble" et repense la notion de communauté, en l’envisageant non plus comme un frein à notre liberté individuelle mais bien comme une source de richesse. Alors si, ensemble, nous imaginions de nouveaux lieux de vie et de ressources qui seraient, à leur échelle, la maquette de la société plus écologique et citoyenne que nous avons à construire ?
Une oasis peut se trouver en milieu rural ou urbain et prendre des formes différentes : éco-habitat participatif, écoquartier, écohameau, commune en transition, tiers-lieu tourné vers l'écologie… Autant d'oasis qui se fondent autour de cinq intentions essentielles et sont à l’origine de l’émergence d’une société fondée sur l'autonomie, le partage et la convivialité.

Existem inúmeros exemplos que demonstram a nossa capacidade para encontrar soluções inovadoras que melhoram o nosso bem-estar. Mas as inovações nem sempre são sinónimo de melhoria. De facto, alguns aspetos constituem uma evolução no mau sentido, na medida que nos afastam de um futuro sustentável. O desafio que enfrentamos reside em usar a nossa capacidade inovadora para restabelecer as nossas ligações com a biosfera (capítulo 1) e permanecer dentro dos limites de planeta (capítulo 2) a fim de salvaguardar o desenvolvimento humano a longo prazo. É tempo de introduzir inovações que têm em conta as interações fundamentais entre os sistemas sociais e ecológicos.
Entende-se por resiliência a capacidade de um sistema – quer seja uma floresta, uma cidade ou uma economia – responder às mudanças e continuar a desenvolver-se. Envolve, por isso, tanto a capacidade de resistência como a de adaptação, bem como a capacidade de transformar choques e perturbações – como uma crise financeira ou alterações climáticas – em possibilidades de renovação e inovação. A abordagem centrada na resiliência compreende também a aprendizagem, a diversidade e, sobretudo, o reconhecimento de que os seres humanos e a natureza estão de tal modo interligados que devem ser encarados como um único sistema socioecológico.
Recent decades have seen a significant shift in how profound and intractable problems such as poverty, disease, violence or environmental deterioration are handled. While such problems have traditionally been handled through national social and spatial policies in European welfare states such as Sweden, there has been a substantial redistribution to the market, regions and communities. This is embodied in the term ‘social innovation’, which marks a critical shift in how, where, and by whom societal problems are handled. Practices of social innovation involve a reconfiguration of relations between the state and citizens, relations that are may be (co-)produced in ways that are regionally, socially, and spatially specific. This paper (in the short form of ‘preliminary findings’) explores the ‘how’ of social innovation through three case studies concerning urban resources issues such as food, water, waste and land use. Building on arguments that design has become central to the (co-)production of social innovation, I examine the role of designers and design artifacts in framing and staging (co-)production within households, neighborhoods and civic arenas. Locating social innovation as the reconfiguration of society from within, I discuss these as examples through which wider social practices and systems, beliefs and authority, may be profoundly altered.

Nowtopia is a book about a new politics of work. It profiles tinkerers, inventors, and improvisational spirits who bring an artistic approach to important tasks that are ignored or undervalued by market society. Rooted in practices that have been emerging over the past few decades, Nowtopia’s exploration of work locates an important thread of self-emancipatory class politics beyond the traditional arena of wage-labor.
Outlaw bicycling, urban permaculture, biofuels, free software, even the Burning Man festival, are windows into a scarcely visible social transformation that challenges politics as we know it. As capitalism continues its inexorable push to corral every square inch of the globe into its logic of money and markets, new practices are emerging that are redefining politics. In myriad ways, people are taking back their time and technological know-how from the market and in small under-the-radar ways, are making life better right now. In doing so, they also set the foundation—technically AND socially—for a genuine movement of liberation from market life. The social networks thus created, and the practical experience of cooperating outside of economic regulation, become a breeding ground for new strategies and tactics to confront the everyday commodification to which capitalism reduces us all.
